Malloreddos
Malloreddos is in the native name of Sardinian dumplings, which are a format of durum wheat semola paste, typical of Sardinian cuisine. They have a shell shape and the external streaks of this pasta allow it to better retain the condiment with which they are seasoned.
It is a very versatile pasta because it lends itself to being seasoned with a multiplicity of condiments ranging from fish-based to meat-based ones and is also excellent simply with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil accompanied by pecorino cheese.
One of the typical recipes is that of malloreddos alla campidanese which involves the preparation of a sausage sauce
